Update - Ally & Connor

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

It's been just over 5 months now since we brought Connor home, and just over a year since I joined Pet Talk!! Time flies when you're having fun!

Ally and Connor continue to "have their moments", but they are not fighting with as much aggression as they used to, and are not really hurting each other any more. Although far from being best buddies they put up with each other, and even VERY occasionally play a game of chase around the house.

Here are some new pics of them:

Playing Hide-Seek in the bathroom:

With soft beds all over the house, Ally chooses to lie here:

Ally all SPIKEY after an argument with Connor:

Ally still insists in trying to lie on my lap, even though there is a laptop there too!

Connor indulging in his favourite passtime (next to eating of course):

Connor being very confused, looking at pictures of cats. (He also sits and stares at himself in mirrors for HOURS)

Great pictures. I love the one of them playing hide and seek and of them looking out the window together. I think it's cute how they snuggle up close to you too.

I'm so happy to hear things have improved. I've had Scout here for 8 months and she still bosses Ripley around and intimidates him badly - even though he is more than twice her size. She and Jazz look all spikey like Ally when they fight too.

I've been wondering how things were going. I'm glad you've decided to hang with them.

You save me sending you the pm I was planning to ask how Ally and Connor are going. Looks quite amiable to em.

Congratulations! The hide and seek is so cute, and the washer, and.....

Both Ali and Connor are gorgeous kitties, and those are great pictures of them! :)

Glad to hear they are tolerating each other now, at least most of the time.

Thanks for the update and pictures. :)

[PayItForward]

Great to hear that Ally and Connor are getting used to each other and they seems very friendly on this photo.

Hope things continue on this positive vein :)

[bluekat]

Aww, they're sooo cute!!!:D Glad to hear they're getting along better.
Great pics, thanks for sharing!:)

[Felicia's Mom]

I'm glad things are better. Beau and Felicia don't get along and I have had them both for over ten years.

If they can share Mom, then they can share anything!!!:D

[Steffi N]

Thank you for these delightful pictures. It's good to read that Ally and Connor are getting along better. :)

Great pictures, gosh aren't you lucky to have a lap cat, green with envey here lol, your two are like mine, they tolerate each other and have the odd spat always instigated by my older cat, but hey he was here first I guess, thats all we can hope for some times, sure beats them nearly killing each other, BTW love your bed-head amazing.

Thanks Carole! We had a rough sketch of what we wanted and a local craftsman made it up for us - it has matching side tables, TV table, dresser and wall mirror. Now I am saving up for the perfect bedding in red and gold to match the walls!

Also you are right about having a lap cat - Ally can be a real snuggle-puss and I love her to bits!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad to hear that Ally and Connor are getting along much better.:) I can relate because Storm and Cirrus don't get along either.
Thanks for sharing their pictures with us too.:)

[Barbara]

This looks very good. There are only a few moments when F+T are so close with one of us - and after all I consider them as friends.

I missed seeing pictures of Ally and Connor. Glad they're back:D

[RedHedd]

Aww! So cute to see two cats slowly getting closer to each other. LOL Connor staring at himself in a mirror ... tsk tsk. :D

[catmandu]

Ally and Conner are so great together , and they are the favorite of the Found Cats! And I certainly am glad that I am not the only one that had framed photos of his Cats!

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Ally and Connor say THANKS to everyone for their kind comments, and they promise to try to get along!;)

[carole]

I can just picture the red and gold bedding with the bed-head, your taste is very similar to mine, I would love what you have , I also love mulberry and gold and green and gold too, and two cute pussycats sitting amongst those fine colours, even better , cheers.:) :D :cool:

[Miss Meow]

I'm so glad to see they're getting along better!

It was so stressful when you were considering finding a new home for Connor when things were truly bad. Good on you for persisting! (and a big hooray to your husband the dog person ;) for finding a place in his heart for Connor!)

[lisalee]

Ally and Conner are very cute kitties! I love the way they are snuggled up with you they look so comfortable. Lisa & Sash

[slick]

So nice to hear that things are going well. Thanks for the pics and the smile. :) Please pass on some kisses from me.

[shais_mom]

I am glad things are progressing!!! :)
They are both adorable!

[catlover4ever]

Thank you for the update and the pictures. I am very happy to see and hear that Ally and Connor are getting along much better than before. :)

[catcrazylady]

It is so nice to see their pictures again!! What cutie pies!! Hopefully they are through the major adjustment period and they will be ok now. I'm sure they will have a spat or two but hopefully nothing like before!

Your babies are so cute! I love the expression on Aly's face where she is sprawled across the chair and Connor looks just like a baby when he is curled up sleeping! How cute!!:D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

[ramanth]

Love the pictures! Aly's fluffy tail and sunning position are really cute. :D

[Kona & Oreo's mom]

It's so good to see them getting along. I love the pic of them watching the birds together!

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

I found this VERY funny. Here, 'bed-head' means your hair when you wake up in the am...he he he...we (or at least I) call the thing Carole was referring to a "head board". In any event, I, too, really like it!

As to those silly cats of yours...remember how upset your husband was that they weren't getting along? Yay! That you waited, and gave them more time. Maybe they won't ever be best buds, but, they have come so far in five months.

[catnapper]

No wonder Connor looks at himself on the mirror for hours - he's absolutely gorgeous! Ally is simply a beautiful kitty.

Glad to hear he and his "sister" are starting to cool down the fireworks.
